In the second federal corruption indictment of a Republican member of Congress in recent weeks, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and his wife were charged with funneling over $250,000 in campaign donations to fund an array of personal expenditures, allegedly using the money to pay for trips, expensive dinners, overseas vacations and even flying the family’s pet bunny across the country. In a 47 page indictment handed up by a federal grand jury on Tuesday, federal prosecutors detailed how Rep. Hunter and his wife repeatedly spent campaign money on everything from children’s books and puzzles for their family, to personal ski trips, airline tickets, groceries and other household items. “The purchases included family vacations to Italy, Hawaii, Phoenix, Arizona, and Boise, Idaho; school tuition; dental work; theater tickets; and domestic and international travel for almost a dozen relatives,” prosecutors said in a statement. “The Hunters also spent tens of thousands of dollars on smaller purchases, including fast food, movie tickets, golf outings, video games, coffee, groceries, home utilities, and expensive meals,” the feds added in a statement. “They overdrew their bank account more than 1,100 times in a seven-year period resulting in approximately $37,761 in ‘overdraft’ and ‘insufficient funds’ bank fees,” the indictment read. The indictment of Hunter had been expected by many on Capitol Hill for months, as the feds have had the California Republican under investigation – all the while, the GOP Congressman, whose father served before him in Congress, has sternly denied any wrongdoing.
